Chenoa man charged with downloading child porn

Juan Bravo Jr., 40, waived a preliminary hearing and will be held in custody of the U.S. marshals pending a Feb. 12 bond hearing. If convicted, he faces at least five years and possibly up to 20 years in prison.

Officers were searching a peer-to-peer file sharing program and found files that were linked to an Internet address used by Bravo, according to a complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Peoria.

Then they went to his home and Bravo allegedly said he had downloaded the images, which he knew depicted minors engaged in sexual activity.
